Ski East Coast
I suffer from a little seasonal depression. I say this not because I've seen a therapist and gotten a diagnosis but simply because I really struggle at times living in the Northeast when the weather starts to get cold and dark. The "Gloom Period" still gets to me. And really, I don't mind the cold so much. It's all those dismal gray days, the ones that start at 7:15 and end at 4:00 pm.
That's hard for me.
It doesn't help that I work in a windowless office inside a literal hidden bunker in Manhattan.
It's easy enough in the summer because I bike-commute. I'm on the bike for almost an hour every day, I get plenty of sun and fresh air while I'm out there, and it helps a lot with office life. I'm on the bike in the winter, too, but because of those late mornings and early evenings, there's a lot less sun.
We ski. In fact, as we get older, I find myself wanting to ski more and more. Not because I'm some daredevil thrill-seeker but because I really like spending time out on the slopes in the sun. I'm actually a snowboader, again not because I'm some radical dude but because I find snowboarding to be a little easier on my knees.
Anyway, this tab archives our adventures with an emphasis on specific resorts along the East Coast, mostly in Vermont, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. We ski a lot, so we ski where we live. Hence the name -- Ski East Coast.
We're also members of Stratford's Sterling Ski Club, a part of the Connecticut Ski Council. Highly recommended for Connecticut-based skiers.
